They said “Bad feelings are temporary”
Are they?

Is it the optimistic urge to let them go
And free the space for upcoming more?
And how do we know what’s coming isn’t as bad?
Can we mesure how much we endured
and how much is left ?

“Bad feelings are temporary”,
Do we at some point in life upgrade
and reach access to the sanctuary?
Is it fair share the amount of things
that are upsetting or scary?

How can you say it’s temporary ?
when every corner in me is hunted
with a heavy weight of a hurting feeling
How many did I drop and
How many do I still carry?
My shoulders are tired
And my bones are growing weary

“Bad feelings are temporary”,
How come they become bad in the first place?
Don’t they have a purpose
Or do they just occupy space?
Do we need to feel anxious or not enough
in order to grow more tough?
Couldn’t we just all agree to not be rough?
Couldn’t we change the rules
So the gentle one survives?

Couldn’t we care more
And help each other feel a little less
of the bad feelings that we call temporary?
